Senior Accountant/Senior Payroll Practice

Stoke-on-Trent ASAP start Confidential

I m working on a genuinely nice opportunity with a well-established national accountancy practice that s managed to grow without losing its family-orientated, local feel.

This role has come about because someone long-standing is leaving, and the firm wants to bring the right person in early, rather than rushing a replacement. Ideally, they d like someone to start ASAP to allow for a proper handover.

It s a hands-on senior role supporting local clients, many of whom value face-to-face relationships. The work is heavily payroll-focused (around 75%), alongside accounts and client work.

You ll be working with:

• SAGE payroll
• CIS
• Pension scheme submissions
• VAT
• Accounts prep for sole traders & Ltd companies
  (No corporates, no faceless work.)

They re looking for someone with a practice background, senior-level experience, and who s comfortable working independently. SAGE payroll experience is essential, with CIS and pensions experience important.

What really makes this stand out is the working environment - people stay here for years. There s genuine flexibility once you re settled, trust to manage your own workload, and a real understanding that family and life outside work matter.

If you re a senior who wants stability, flexibility, and a role that feels human, this is well worth a confidential chat.
